I took permission away from one of my gmail accounts to use the K9 mail app and can't seem to figure out how to get it back.

Not certain exactly what you mean by "took permission away," so here's some general advice (from memory, the exact locations for these settings might require some searching):

- Ensure IMAP is enabled in Gmail settings.
- There is a setting in the general Google account security page called something like "allow less secure apps" which may need to be turned on.
- If you use MFA (google authenticator, TOTP, U2F, yubikey, SMS, etc.), you will need to generate an app-specific password and use that rather than your real account password.

Hopefully that can get you pointed in the right direction.
